Hello all..My old Jandy SWG finally bit the dust in just 3 years! It was the 3rd unit we had installed in the previous 3 years. So we decided on this unit,the Hayward Salt and Swim 3. After installing it I am only getting a standing by and inadequate water flow lights. It will occasionally go...

my swag is producing no chlorine at all. The box says Output Fault.. I've looked in the manual and there is absolutely nothing about this reading...help anyone? You might know this week is our family reunion and I will have about 20 people here and in the pool all week . Terrible timing! I need...

Ok, I was on here with issues of turquoise green water a few weeks ago. I ended up treating with 3 qt bottles of metal remover from Walmart the water cleared totally in 1 day. I went on a cruise and my friends came over every day to put bleach in the pool. They stated the very first day the...

Ok, my water has been kept on SLAM level for 19 days now and is still bright green. We can see the bottom of the pool but it is green . On my other post it was mentioned by chem geek that it could be iron in the water. I had actually had the water tested at the pool store and asked specifically...

Its been a while since I have been on here and the last was all about all my frozen, broken plumbing. That is all fixed, and pool is open and running. Have a new pump, Hayward 1.5 hp and all new plumbing. Added brand new liner last year. However opened to dark green pool last Friday. Using...

Ok, I am going to need to rep lump my pool, buy a new motor and maybe even a new SWG. Last season everything, liner, plumbing, new returns were all replaced, at the end of the season the pump started " squealing". So, my son was coming to look at as he repairs a lot. He didn't show and long...

So...N Ga is raining , raining raining. I have been out of town and my DH has thankfully kept the water level below the top by running the pump to waste until the water is half way on the skimmer. Here ois muy problem. I have a salt water generator (that was keeping everything beautiful) but...

This is my first time with an SWG..I turned it on for the first time yesterday but it didn' t come on with the pool this morning. It is plugged in to the same dual outlet with the pool. The pool came on. I manually turned on the generator. It is a Jandy aquapure 35. I have read the manual and...

I have installed a brand new liner and a Jandy aquapure 35 swg on my pool. I have added borax, stabilizer and bleach. As far as I can understand, the Jandy book is saying to just distribute the salt (800 + lbs) around the pool. I am concerned about that salt sitting on my new liner...anyone...

So I went to drain winter cover and found large leak in the far side of my 33 ft pool. I knew the time would come for a new liner...just not now but hey, such is my life. My question is, Has anyone ordered a liner on line and from where? I want quality at the lowest possible cost. I needed to re...

Hello all, I am going to have to close my pool early as I am going out of town to work for 2 months the 1st of October. If I don't close I will have a pool full of leaves..What I need advice on is this...I have been out of town for 11 days on a cruise :-D . My family came over and kept bleach in...

Hello all, I haven't posted since last year when I began using the BBB method. I have really loved my pool since. I am still using it and the pool looks good. Here is my question...I add a gallon or 2 gallons of bleach as the pool calculator tells me but by the next day I am having to add 2...

I have a problem with my pool. All of my chemicals are pretty good but when you brush the bottom it is a big cloud of green. My FC =9.5 CC= <.5 TC=10 PH=7.6 TA=90 CH=160 CYA=85 I am using the TF100 test kit and the BBB method for the last 4 weeks. I am now shocking the p[ool. I just don't get...

OK, I shocked the pool and passed the OCLT test. My water is sparkling clear. Because I had so much crud on the bottom and because my cya was at 100, I vacuumed to waste so that I could rid the pool of the dead algae and also add clean water . I have now done this 3 times in 2 days and have the...

I have been continually fighting algae in my pool. I shock and pass the OTC and then in a week the algae is back. I just noticed that in the support tube for my ladder in the pool, it is bright green. I then inspected the tiny holes in each step and they too are bright green. Now I am taking the...

My question may sound silly, however I need to be sure I am reading this correctly. When I fill the tube for the CYA test (using the TF-100 test kit) do I read the level where the black dot cannot seen at all or when it is hazy without an outline? It still looks grayish in the bottom but I...

Hello. I am new here but have had a pool for years. My pool is a 34ft round, 52" high. 27,500 gal.. I have a 1.5 HP pump and a starite sand filter. My problem is that 2 weeks ago I came home from out of town to an algae bloom. I shocked with 3 lbs trichlor. I then swept and vacuumed. All the...
